(March 18, 1877-January 3, 1945)
Born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky
Diagnosed illnesses of patients he never met while in a trance
Also made pronouncements on reincarnation, Atlantis and similar subjects

Why he might be annoying

His record of alleged successes is entirely anecdotal.
On several occasions, he diagnosed patients without realizing they had died while their letters were in the mail. (You would think psychic powers could detect something as basic as alive vs. dead.)
He said pure tobacco cigarettes were not harmful to one's health.
He predicted that scientists would find an Atlantean death ray in 1958.
He predicted Atlantis would start rising from the sea in 1968 or 1969.
He said free will influenced what will happen and that even something predestined can be postponed or altered. (Nice out, there!)

Why he might not be annoying

As a child, he suffered several strange mishaps, including a nail in the head, a baseball striking his spine and a stick piercing his testicle.
In April, 1929, he told a stock broker to sell everything he owned.
He did not charge for readings (although he gladly accepted 'voluntary donations').
